My name is Matt and my last name starts with a B, very clever I know

 

92? Wut that?

 

This is the username my university assigned to me back in 1993. It is part of my first and last names

 

My first engineering job out of college was for a 25 person combustion engineering company. The owner was a snooty New England to LA transplant who was a dual PhD, brilliant but zero EQ. He could never remember my name and always called my Paul Swagelock, which only shares the initials with my actual name. So I adopted that alias and use it everywhere. Fast forward 30 years later, after fortunate successes, I bought his company from under him…. He remembered my name at that point.

 

In 99 bought a yellow sports car. In 4 weeks had 4 speeding tickets. My wife says 'My God, this thing is like cop bait!'. I ended making COPB8 my license plate and it's been with me ever since.

 

My name is Frank and org from Staten Island,NY.... Now in NJ. And I've been boating since I was 17...

 

Lol

 

Y'all might think mine is related to boating.... It is on the surface but not started that way.

Back in the late 80's, I had some barely legal street cars that were really a handful trying to actually drive on the street. I bought a 1967 Fairlane and vowed to keep it mild and make it just a cruiser. I actually put it in the Detroit Autorama and had the display plaque painted with "Jus Cruisin" as the car name. Anyway, I've used it on forums (cars, trucks and boats and car tags) ever since. View attachment 114925

 

Hawk for my nickname and X66 is the trim level code for my 69 Camaro SS396....

That was the last specialty car I sold. I'm now completely out of the "car hobby". I miss it a little. I attended the Daytona Turkey Run for about 20 years straight.

 

Well, mines pretty simple... Nickname and last name initial.

 

My name is Greg, and I am a boataholic...

"MrsRobinson" was the name of my last 2 boats. My last name is, well, Robinson. Growing up boats were named after the Mrs. Oh, and my avatar is because I play a lot of competitive tennis.

 

For the car guys, I grew up with American Muscle cars, well my buddies owned them. Dream car was always a 1969 Midnight Blue Dodge Charger 440 6 pack. I never had the funds to buy one though as a teenager.

Now that I do I thought hard about buying one. My garage is too narrow/small though. So I recently bought a 2008 BMW 335i N54 E93 that I have been tuning/modifying. Got her up to 400 HP from 300. It's just a hobby that will probably be replaced when I buy the next boat. I do love American Muscle though, sadly it seems to be going away.

 

American Muscle is at its peak right now. The car companies are building rocket ships. Gt500's, Hellcats, Demons, Trackhawks, ZL1's.... They all are lethal.

 

Our boat was named Cocktail Time when I joined CSR back in 2007. Great idea for a thread. (Love Hawk's X66!) You guys have some awesome toys, I barely have time for a freshwater boat!

 

27 years ago we had triplet daughters and I started using Tripsdad on most forums and named our boats Trips Ahoy.

 

Raised 2 girls 3 years apart and that was challenging enough! Not sure how you do 3 all at the same time!

 

Needed a handle for my Yahoo email account after college. First initial and last name.

I wasn't feeling very creative when signing up for CSR, and didn't want to be saddled with something that might change. I had another user name based on a car and city, and had already sold the car and moved. I figured a variant of my name from email is pretty safe.

 

I don't have 3 sons, fooled you
1960's sitcom about a widowed aeronautical engineer who is raising 3 boys alone.

My father-in-law was an aeronautical engineer at Bell aerospace/textron in Niagara falls.
Unfortunately, his wife (also my wife's mother) died in an accident 1 month after my wife and I started dating. He raised four daughters, (he had no sons) at the time ranging in age from 17 down to 11. He never remarried, always said between work and the girls, he was too exhausted to date. God bless him.
Anyways, in later years when the family would get together, and he and his son-in-laws would congregate off to the side, he would always ask "So How's my three sons?"
Karen's one sister never married.
He was one of the greatest of the greatest generation.

My Three Sons, loved that show.

 

Years ago when I joined we had also just joined a yacht club … we had a blue 240 Sundeck at the YC Marina. As we met new people they would ask where our slip is and I would give the dock number and they would say “Oh the blue one”. This went on quite a bit….even I started saying the blue one on B dock….after a while people started calling me blueone when they couldn’t remember my name

 

Like, I'd just seen the Big Lebowski when I joined this group, man.......

 

Been on Texoma my whole life. 1st boat dad bought was a wooden v-bottom with a Mercury 50 (I learned to ski behind that boat). Although I'm no longer a "kid" I am living proof that we may have to grow old but we can be immature forever

 

Mine's pretty straight forward; first name's Nathan, and I'm from Idaho.
For all you car guys out there

My first car; a '66 Mustang with a 200 straight-six that got sold-off for the '69 Superbee 383HP. That was one fast car in pure stock trim. Sadly, they're both gone...

Gorgeous! Beautiful car (not a fan of the green but I would take it).

I ended up buying a 73' Duster with a slant 6 because as my first car, that's all I could afford in the 11th grade. Paid for her with 2 paper routes and washing dishes at night at a restaurant, under age ;-)

 

Mine is real simple. I'm an electrician.
Have been an IBEW Journeyman Wireman for 36 years.

 

I own a collection agency... I named my first SR an '89 300 WE "The Bill Collector" and boats collect a lot of bills (you should see my accordion folder full, I hide it from my wife).

 

Stingrayaxe. No not a boat reference. In 1979 I bought my first "real" bass guitar. It was a sunburst body maple neck Leo Fender designed Music Man Stingray. I would like to say that I still have that bass. It's disappearance is a long story.
To this day that Stingray was my Axe of choice.

 

My Gofirstclass comes from my email address I've had for many, many years.

Funny story attached to that---we were at a party and someone asked me for my email address. I told him and a 3rd person at the party who was VERY drunk said "Was that gophersass?" We all got a kick out of it so when I got home I set up a new email address using gophersass as my login. It's still there but I never check on it

The boat name "Beachcomber" comes from my CB radio handle from way back in the early 70's. I used that handle because as a kid I spent hours walking the beaches of Lake Huron looking for treasures.

 

My last name and my other hobby.
I’m on a forum for that as well and was too lazy to come up with a new name when I joined.
Plus it is less to have to remember.

I sold that one but still have 6 more that need restoration.

 

Very nice. 72? There's one local that's lifted and would be a great project. Sits outside a shop with no back cover and no love. Sad...
I'm going to recreate this one. Dad's old plow truck...

Ugh ???? just my name.

 

Mine is just me. My email and every forum I have been on has been the same. Makes it easy to remember. And my email has been the same since before AOL was the normal. John R Hornsby III = jhornsby3. Only one of about 200 John Hornsby's in the country.
